Shop so We Can Adopt

I sit here sick and stuffy this morning with my first cold of the winter.  I was able to sleep in (with much thanks), because my kids spent the night at the farm with my in-laws. Rather than spread my cold around this Sunday morning, I decided to watch church online and get caught up on some baby-blanket-making (don't worry, I have been applying lots of hand-sanitizer).



When I need the tissue box close by, I love the option of being able to watch Embrace Church online. (www.iamembrace.com) If you find yourself in the same situation this winter, feel free to join one of the live services online as well!




 I have brought the Singer out of the closet and made myself my daily iced-coffee. By this time of year, I have usually made the switch to black hot coffee, but I am always a little sad to do so. So this year I am still drinking iced coffee with below zero temps outside and loving it!




I managed to finish 3 baby boy blankets this morning. I ordered more fabric on a Black Friday special, so am excited to get those pieces in the mail and get started on some new blanket designs. Click HERE to learn more about our baby blanket fundraiser and see all the blanket designs to choose from.





But the main reason for writing this post is to announce an event we have coming up! We are calling it the Shop so We Can Adopt Fundraiser. If you are on facebook, check out the event page HERE.

Here is all the information about the event:


Need to get some Christmas shopping done? Want to go on a date with your spouse? Or 


just need a little break? 


We will be happy to babysit your kids for a free-will donation to go towards our adoption 

expenses. 


The fundraiser will be held at Embrace Church Sioux Falls (2800 E 57th st) on Friday 

December 13th, between 5:30 and 8:00 pm. Supper will not be provided, so please 

feed your kids before you drop them off. :) We will be serving a light snack.


Thanks in advance for all your support and feel free to share this event with family, friends 

and anyone you think might be interested!




If you are able to help support our cause by letting us

 watch your children, we would greatly appreciate it! I

 will also bring my tub of finished blankets if you

 would like to take a look at them. They make great

 Christmas or baby shower gifts! If you have any

 questions about the babysitting fundraiser, feel free

 to message me on facebook or send me an email at

 jessicarwaltner@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance for all your support. Even if you

 can't make it out on Friday night or don't have kids to

 drop off, please consider sharing the event on your

 facebook wall. The more the merrier! :)
